The Great Ruler

Chapter 930 - Breaking The Array

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Golden flames were sizzling in the pagoda as the Sky Dragon-Tiger's body started to swell in the flames and an extremely powerful ominous aura swept out, causing the Nine-Layered Pagoda to emit buzzing noises.

Along with the Sky Dragon's flames igniting the Sky Dragon bloodline, the Sky Dragon-Tiger's strength had also swelled up. It was currently at a state that even the Asura King would find it hard to deal with.

Outside the stage, the Blood Hawk King and the rest felt their scalps going numb when they had discovered that Mu Chen was the reason behind the sharp surge in the Sky Dragon-Tiger's strength.

Although they had no idea what the intention behind Mu Chen's action was, the latter wasn't a fool so he naturally had his own qualms. It's just that… wasn't Mu Chen worried about nurturing trouble this way…?

As those thoughts circulated in the hearts of the Kings, Mu Chen had his gaze fixed on the Nine-Layered Pagoda. He could also sense the Spiritual Energy of the Sky Dragon-Tiger growing more violent. If he were to clash with the current Sky Dragon-Tiger, then even with the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, it would be slightly hard for him to bear its attack.

Along with the increase and the bloodline being ignited faster, if the Sky Dragon-Tiger still had its intellect, then it might've been able to tell the motive behind Mu Chen's actions in forcefully igniting his bloodline. But it was a pity that the current Sky Dragon-Tiger only had a portion of its strength preserved, while its intellect had already disappeared.

Roar!

Although its intellect had disappeared, the Sky Dragon-Tiger could still sense danger and had roared. The roar rumbled like thunder as it pounced forth, brandishing a fist towards the Nine-Layered Pagoda.

Rumble!

Spiritual Energy swept out like a storm under that fist, causing even the Asura King's eyelids to twitch. It was an attack that had gathered the power of the Sky Dragon-Tiger.

Mu Chen had also felt Sky Dragon-Tiger's counterattack and his seals changed. After bearing that terrifying attack, the Nine-Layered Pagoda had disappeared completely at this moment.

At the same time, the golden flames had also disappeared.

Boom!

A sharp gale from the fist, along with the violent Spiritual Energy, blew out and slammed against the barrier around the stage, instantly causing ripples.

Mu Chen stood in the sky as he looked at the Sky Dragon-Tiger with indifference. After executing that earlier terrifying attack, its figure had slightly shrunk down and the dragon scales had also started to swiftly dim down.

Everyone could sense that the Sky Dragon-Tiger's strength was swiftly weakening at this moment.

In just a dozen breaths, the Sky Dragon-Tiger, which had a surging ominous aura, instantly diminished and there was even blood oozing from the dragon scales. Evidently, it was extremely weakened at the moment.

Mu Chen had eased out his brows at this moment. Although he had expected for a repercussion after the Sky Dragon-Tiger had ignited its bloodline, he did not expect the repercussion to be so severe.

Right now, the Sky Dragon-Tiger was like a paper tiger.

The Blood Hawk King and the rest had widened their eyes outside the stage and had finally understood what was going on a long while later. Immediately, they couldn't help looking at Mu Chen with shock, since they clearly did not expect Mu Chen to use such a method to obtain victory…

"Truly, King Mu is, indeed, formidable."

After recovering from their shock, they praised Mu Chen, who was at a disadvantageous position from the intense confrontation and could still maintain his calm to scour for the flaws of the Sky Dragon-Tiger before adopting such an exquisite method to defeat it. His battle instincts were something that even the well-experienced Kings couldn't help feeling stunned.

On the stage, Mu Chen's figure had slowly descended. Along with his descent, the scarlet gaze of the Sky Dragon-Tiger still shot over, then it pounced forth at the next moment, like a ferocious pouncing tiger.

But at this point, its Spiritual Energy had been greatly diminished. So be it its speed or power, there was a huge decrease and it could no longer pose any threat to Mu Chen.

Therefore, Mu Chen's feet had merely flashed upon facing the pouncing tiger and he had already dodged the attack. At the same time, his palm was already on the head of the Sky Dragon-Tiger.

"Sorry about this."

Mu Chen said softly as a violent Spiritual Energy erupted from his palm.

Boom!

The head of the Sky Dragon-Tiger had instantly exploded and its body had turned into sparkles of light, filled with the pure essence of Spiritual Energy.

That was the Spiritual Energy essence left by the Sky Dragon-Tiger.

Mu Chen waved his hand and the boundless Spiritual Energy essence endlessly surged into his body.

Mu Chen quietly stood still, but he was slightly startled in his heart. That's because the Spiritual Energy essence that surged into his body was too boundless, which wasn't inferior to him absorbing 20,000 Fallen Origin Pellets in his previous seclusion.

"This Sky Dragon-Tiger should've been an Eighth Grade Sovereign when it was still alive. Otherwise, it wouldn't leave behind such a pure Spiritual Energy essence." Mu Chen exclaimed in his heart as he shut his eyes and circulated his cultivation technique to absorb the boundless Spiritual Energy essence into his body before refining and merging it into his Sovereign Sea.

Along with the Spiritual Energy essence being absorbed, Mu Chen could sense his Sovereign Sea becoming thicker. Compared to before, it was much thicker.

"If I can obtain a little more Spiritual Energy essence, I might be able to swiftly reach the pinnacle of Fifth Grade Sovereign."

Half an hour later, Mu Chen opened his eyes and the hollow vortice in his eyes disappeared. He had exited the Lesser Demon Heart State. Sensing the Spiritual Energy in his body becoming more robust, Mu Chen couldn't help sighing.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Just as Mu Chen sighed, an abnormal noise came from the ancient palace and everyone looked at the source of it. They saw another beast face dissolving on the azure bronze door.

That represented the defeat of the Sky Dragon-Tiger.

This way, four seals on the azure bronze door had been dissolved. The seal, which was perfect, had started to show chaotic undulations and could no longer look as sturdy as before.

Mu Chen's silhouette flashed as he leapt down from the stage. Along with his return, the Kings had also welcomed him with smiles.

"Haha. It's all thanks to King Mu this time." Even the Sky Vulture King had nodded his head with his eyes squinted full of smiles before praising. The last match was too important to them, and if Mu Chen failed, then they could only rely on Mandala to forcefully break the array. But if that's the case, then she would definitely be affected because of it.

"If it wasn't for the Kings in the previous matches, then this match of mine wouldn't have been important." Mu Chen lightly smiled. He did not hang his contributions on his head and act with arrogance.

Mandala's tense face had also changed into a smile as she looked at Mu Chen with her golden pupils and nodded her head. "Everyone has contributed to this matter. After the whole thing is done, the contributions will definitely be rewarded."

Although her voice was tender, it made the Kings reveal joy on their faces when they heard her. Even Mandala had already put things this way, so at that time, the rewards would be especially ample. High Rank Divine Artifact, Peerless Rank Divine Artifact or even Quasi-Perfection Rank Divine Art or even a stronger Divine Art might be rewarded to them.

Mu Chen was calm regarding this matter compared to the Kings as he had only nodded his head with a smile.

"Domain Ruler, can the array be broken now?" The Spiritual Pupils King looked at the azure bronze door. Beyond that door lied the depths of the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury.

Mandala's golden pupils looked at the azure bronze door with a chill surging in her eyes. Previously, because of the door having an intimate relationship with the entire palace, even she would have a hard time dealing with it. But now that the seal on the door had already been weakened, it was practically a dream for it to obstruct her.

"Leave the rest to me."

Mandala spoke in a cold voice as she stretched her hand out and grabbed towards one of the pillars in the palace.

Rumble!

The pillar, which was protected with runes, was as weak as tofu in her hands. With only a grip, cracks started to spread out. Along with her waving her hand, the boundless Spiritual Energy that covered the pillar had turned into layers of crystals.

Whoosh!

A dazzling light emanated from the stone pillar that abruptly shot out and pierced towards the horizon and heavily smashed against the door.

Boom! Boom!

The stone pillar crumbled but as it crumbled, the seal on the door had also started to dim down and the beast faces on it were emitting ear-piercing roars before distorting…

"Break!"

Mandala narrowed her golden pupils and her figure appeared behind that stone pillar in the next moment. Her fair and petite fist was brandished out and had heavily slammed against the pillar.

Boom!

The huge pillar was instantly shattered to dust with a terrifying energy shattering space that clashed against the door.

Crack!

Cracks instantly appeared before spreading out on the door and the numerous beast faces were emitting sharp shrieks as it crumbled.

The azure bronze door was excessively distorted before it exploded.

When the door was broken apart by a fist from Mandala, the eyes of Mu Chen and the rest had practically blazed up in an instant. The door that lead towards the depths of the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury had finally been opened for them.

However, they knew that after this, the most intense battle in the Hunting War would unfold.

That's because the Spiritual Divine Liquid was something that Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouses like Mandala couldn't resist.

Therefore, the competition at that time would definitely be a destructive one!
